Easter Sweets: PEEPS Cheesecake Bars Recipe

I love PEEPS so much that I look forward to Easter each year just because I know that there will be a bevy of beautiful, puffy little PEEPS lining the store shelves all month. I am NEVER disappointed. Each year, there are new shapes, new flavors – did you ever taste the birthday cake PEEPS!?!?!??!?! – and I save up all of my carbs so that I can stuff my face with these sugary little angels sent from heaven. I used to do so much cooking and baking around the holidays, but as I’ve gotten older, gotten divorced, and Angeline’s grown up…I have kind of lost my love for baking. I know, I know…I hope to regain it soon, but in the meantime, I think these Easter Sweets: PEEPS Cheesecake Bars Recipe will have to do.

I mean, there are PEEPS in them, guys. And like, Oreos and stuff. We used Golden Oreos but you can really use any assortment you prefer – just keep in mind that the coloring will be different if you don’t use the same ingredients we used to take these photos.
